Throughout
Gloucestershire the traditional
jazz style means that the tunes played have a beginning a middle and an
end which most people like, and are suitable for listening to in a concert
situation or for dancing.

Traditional Jazz is the name applied to the earliest form of music that
jazz bands played in New Orleans, it was very popular in the nineteen twenties
as a social music, where jazz bands entertained at any social gathering,
from being the entertainment at a picnic or for dancing in the dance halls.

Early live jazz was usually played by small jazz bands of up to seven
musicians. It is an improvisational music where each player in the band re-arranges
the tune as they play. If you hear the same band perform the same tune twice
it shouldn't sound the same as the musician improvises to reflect the
audience, the event and, how they are feeling.

The original form of jazz had a revival starting in the USA in
the ninteen fourties with jazz bands spreading across the world and has continued to be a popular and entertaining
music today. It became known as trad jazz in the UK.
